CINCINNATI, February 20, 1870.
DEAR UNCLE: — I came here to meet the Kentucky Legislature and spoke to them from the same platform with Mr. Pendleton. All satisfactory.
Just before coming Jay Cooke advised me to take my choice immediately of certain Duluth property which he could get me. I dispatched him that I would take one hundred and sixty acres for eight thousand dollars. I know nothing of terms of payment, but am satisfied that it is a great bargain. No doubt the terms of payment can be complied with somehow. It is one and one-fourth miles from the dock and depot and next to the town property.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
